Trick or Treating with your kiddo in a sling, mei tai, wrap or carrier? Make your babywearing part of the costume. Here are a few suggestions from us here at Mamanista:

Kangaroo – Forward Facing

Okay, a marsupial may be an obvious choice…but still adorable! Dress in tan, get yourself a pair of brown floppy ears, and put your baby in this adorable Baby Kangaroo Costume. Wear baby facing out in the kangaroo carry, of course! If it is cold out, put on an extra-large hooded sweatshirt with room for you and your little passenger. You’re ready to wear your baby like they do on the Discovery Channel.

Mama can dress in brown and be a twig with leaves or green and be a flower–just add some pretty petals to a headband or around a collar or glue a large silk blossom to your hat and mama is a budding beauty.

All you need is a white wrap or soft structured carrier. Cut out a “broken egg shell” shape from white felt and affix to the carrier. Dress your child in all yellow as a baby chick and add, for a finishing touch, add a white “egg shell” hat.

This one will work best with a forward facing carry in a soft structured carrier or a wrap. Simply dress baby up as a jester. Then decorate a simple box (add a crank for extra fun). Finally, attach a decorated box to the carrier. Even if baby is too pooped to pop, like this one, you’ll still be the hit of the party.

Just blue or stitch black pom poms to your red pouch, sling, or wrap and dress baby in all black with antennae (attach springs with black pom poms to a black headband or hat). Carter’s Ladybug Pram will keep your love bug cozy and the adorable bobbing antennae will stay put.

Along Came a Spider – Forward Facing or Facing In

Dress baby up as an arachnid or follow the instructions for this No-Sew Spider Costume from Martha Stewart. Wear a black, grey, or white wrap or a soft structured carrier and you can attach more webbing and plastic creepy crawlies.

To wear a younger baby facing-in with this costume, just add a black hat and paint or glue eight eyes to the back of the hat.

Somewhere over the Rainbow – Any Carrier

Dress your girl up as a Baby Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz and then wear a rainbow of clothing. Bonus points if you can convince Dad and assorted friends, cousins or siblings to dress up as the cowardly lion, scarecrow or tin man…and bring the little dog, too!

Monkey (or any Critter) in a Tree – Any Carrier

Your child is a little monkey, always climbing and chattering and eating fruit. Mama wears neutral and her baby clings onto her, safely wrapped in a green sling for a leaf or a brown sling for a branch. If you’re really feeling the Halloween spirit, add a hat for mama and hot glue on palm leaves and bananas.

Your kiddo will look pretty fly with a pair of goggles and a tan hat (or check out this
Baby Pilot/Aviator Infant/Toddler Costume or Air Force costume). You can dress all in blue and add an airplane cut-out to your sling for the full effect.

I did the chick and egg with my daughter 4 years ago, and it was a huge hit! I had people that I didn’t even know coming up to me, asking to take our picture, at our church’s fall festival! I still have friends talking about that costume. I plan to re-use it this year with our newest addition.

I was born in mid-october, in 1982. Since my sister was five at the time, and was a big mommy’s girl, my mom had to find a way to take me along, but also keep me protected from germs and the cold. She did the kangaroo thing, so I technically went trick-or-treating for the first time at 2 weeks old, as a “joey!”

The chicken in the egg is the cutest costume I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing. I am no very crafty so if there are others like me I found this site. http://www.newborncostumeideas.com/
Happy Halloween to all!

A few years ago, I found a size 3 Old Navy bunny costume on consignment for 2 or 3 dollars. I cut out down and added feet so that it would fit my 4-month-old. I then took a 5-gallon bucket and cut it in half top to bottom. I bought a black sheet for $5 at walmart and cut part of it to cover the bucket. With a little engineering, I made the bucket look like a top hat (complete with fancy ribbon trim and a brim made from cardboard) and attached it to my Baby Bjorn front carrier (upside down). I then used the spare pieces from the bunny costume to cover the top part of the carrier. I put on the straps, put a white dress shirt over them and cut holes in the shirt so that the carrier would clip on without the straps showing. I finished it off with a cape (made from the rest of the black sheet) and a wand made from a dowel rod painted black with white tape on each end. Tada! Homemade magician with a bunny in a hat costume for les than $20! Since my son had a full bunny costume on, he was super cute in the carrier and out.

I drop a comment when I especially enjoy a article on a site or I have something to contribute to the discussion. Usually it is caused by the sincerness communicated in the post I looked at. And on this article Babywearing Halloween Costumes | Mamanista!. I was moved enough to drop a commenta response :-) I actually do have a couple of questions for you if it’s okay. Is it simply me or does it look like like some of the remarks look like coming from brain dead people? :-P And, if you are writing on other sites, I’d like to follow you. Could you make a list all of your shared sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

Thanks for your write-up. My spouse and i have often seen that the majority of people are needing to lose weight simply because they wish to show up slim and attractive. On the other hand, they do not often realize that there are other benefits just for losing weight additionally. Doctors assert that obese people are afflicted with a variety of illnesses that can be instantly attributed to their particular excess weight. Fortunately that people that are overweight as well as suffering from numerous diseases can reduce the severity of the illnesses by way of losing weight. You possibly can see a constant but marked improvement with health while even a slight amount of fat reduction is reached.

Thanks for the concepts you write about through this blog. In addition, many young women who become pregnant never even make an effort to get medical insurance because they have anxiety they won’t qualify. Although some states currently require that insurers provide coverage no matter what about the pre-existing conditions. Costs on these kinds of guaranteed programs are usually larger, but when taking into consideration the high cost of medical care it may be any safer approach to take to protect the financial potential.
